Alan Parsons Fights Music Scams: 'Tomfoolery' Dilutes Artists' Talent
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Music legend Alan Parsons warns of a growing problem: scammers uploading fake songs under his name to streaming platforms. These perpetrators use low-quality, sometimes AI-generated tracks and falsely tag established artists as collaborators. Parsons expresses disappointment that corporate entities running these streaming services seem to be ignoring the issue. He encourages listeners to double-check the source of the music they listen to and support real, human artists. Other well-known artists like Toto, Yes, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have also been victims of these impersonation scams. Spotify recently launched a new tool allowing artists to flag songs that should not appear on their profiles before they go live.
